LOL, I can say it is a very fun gun to shoot. Very smooth. We took it out to BLM land yesterday and had a blast, we both commented on how it was one of the best rifle purchases we made.

 

If you guys provide the ammo, sure you can shoot it![/quote

 

If you guys ever do another tune session out here you should bring it. Tuning trucks and shooting guns sounds like an epic weekend, am I right? :lol:

Let's talk ARs. All kinds. Lets see what you have, what you've done, and discuss what you plan to do. I'll start off.   I have owned and built a couple of ARs, but right now only have one, a Ruger S

My 7.5” pistol. And I figured since it has a Sig red dot I’d throw my other Sigs in there for good measure.

All due respect, I wouldn't buy a pack of gum from Walmart. Go check out a local gun shop and help support a small business. You may pay a little more but you'll get a ton of knowledge and confidenc

They have only handled my 870 and my 1911. I have only driven with the AR. Which sight is on it. Looks like EOTech. I have the EOTech EXPS-2 on mine

What is the magnifier? Also what did it run

Sightmark 3x, I would have to go back through to find price, but we get good deals on optics.

Wouldn't trust them with that gun and those optics.

You get to lock the case with real locks, not stupid TSA locks. They keep a tight control of firearms in their care. I spent a lot of money on a Pelican case ($400) and it keeps t protected. Can't say I blame ya for not wanting to, I'd much rather drive places than fly.

I have been on several flights for work related reasons and haven't had a firearm misplaced. Just make sure you have a proper airline approved, lockable case to transport on the airplane.

 

I use a Pelican case with custom foam for an exact fit with my select fire Colt M4 and pistol including magazines. Not sure how much it really costs, ordered through work.

Where did you have the foam cut or did it come cut? I'd like something like that for when I go shooting. Lock it and chain it in the bed in case I stop at a gas station

casesbypelican.net. Not cheap but it fits a rifle and pistol like a glove.

Do they custom cut to the guns you have and sight options

For the pistol they had options for the M9/Beretta 92, 1911 and the M11/Sig P228. I got mine with the Sig cutout and all of my pistols except for the Beretta fit decently enough for transport because they're all the same size. For the rifle I got the M4 SOPMOD version, it has large cuts to clear optics and such. This is it:

They can do custom too. Browse the site, they have tons of options.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
